Fill the Eye
Fill the eye with solo thought
Mirror of mind is eye
Smile can deceive not
The dreams which in heart die.
In a speck of moment shine like star
But in next dull as night
From happiness miles far
Like a free flowing fateless kite
What you dream is all figments’ child
Leads to sorrow, mightier than death
Al the new born thoughts wild
Die in a single breath.
The pain I feel is pleasure now
And pleasure felt is pain
As to the falseness I bow
And reject the truth in vain.
Where to die seems like joy
And life itself a sorrow
Where each, each other annoy
And disappear forever beyond tomorrow.
The anxiety, the pain I feel
Is like a caged tiger, shackled in bondage
And shown as lamb in veil.
Dying each moment in rage.
Heart has died ages hence
As nothing now I feel
As can’t live as in fence
And can’t my own wounds heal.
How can the birds forever smile?,
And how can the trees always grow
I can’t wear smile for a while
And what is growth? I don’t know.
